Like the best Halloween dark chocolate, AD Jan Wilking has some bittersweet news to share.

Congratulations to our girls’ soccer and girls’ volleyball teams who finished their seasons this past week at District Runner-Ups.  Both programs had tremendous seasons and should be very proud to once again be in the top 32 programs in the state of Ohio.

Football earned a third consecutive trip the state playoffs.  We take on Indian Hill on SATURDAY night at 7pm at Indian Hill.  Tickets will go on sale at school in the athletic office on Wednesday at lunch.  All tickets are $8.  GET YOUR TICKETS EARLY as we will only be given a portion of the total tickets available.  No passes are accepted for this state playoff game.  Parking will be an issue at the game on Saturday so plan to arrive early to Indian Hill.  Additional parking will be available on Drake Road and at Indian Hill Elementary School.  Carpooling is encouraged.  There will be a student spirit bus leaving Wyoming at 5:45pm on Saturday.  Tickets for the bus are $2 and MUST BE BOUGHT IN ADVANCE at lunch starting Wednesday.  Follow @WyomingSports on Twitter for more ticket updates and information as it becomes available.
